I welcome the addition, but I see the word "fragmentation" has yet to be used in this thread. This board is a true departure from previous designs, but it's my experience that Arduino tutorials are getting harder and harder to "plug and play" thanks to the many various boards out there.
While I agree that Esplora is a true departure from previous designs, I don't think "fragmentation" is really an obstacle here. As always, users just need to choose the board model under Tools -> Board menu. As the underlying library and code, I believe are still the same.
